I had similar a few weeks ago, kept coming and going for 2-3 days then I came out with a horrible cold and the dizziness vanished. Only just getting over the cold now but no sign of the dizziness at the moment

I’m also very dizzy atm with my first period and I have thyroid problems too! I have a blood test next week to see what it’s doing as I went hyperthyroid after the birth of my first child and likely to happen again. Have you had your levels checked recently? X

Hi yes I had them last week and I've gone hyperthyroid level was 0.11 over medicated I rang for my result Dr spoke to me on the phone said non urgent I can wait up to 4 weeks for a review of med's I was furious as I'm having heart symptoms I've been breaking my 100mg tabs in half past few days I'm having post natal tmoz so will have it changed then how the hell do you carry on overdosing yourself for a month I think if you have thyroid problems it sends your body haywire after giving birth x

9 month old, first week

It can be hard to travel with your baby right now. He's become used to his surroundings and familiar faces, and he likes predictability. So being on the road can disrupt his sense of security and routine. Read More

9 month old, second week

Your baby is starting to remember more specific information, such as where her toys are in your home. She'll also be able to imitate actions she's seen as long as a week before. These skills indicate that she has recall memory. Read More
